(By Śīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Śī Gopa-ܳ offers ṇām to Śī 岹 with these words:

गूढा वैष्णव-सिद्धान्�-मण�-मञ्जुषिक� हठात�
स्फुटम�-उद्घाटित� ये� तं प्रपन्नो’स्म� नारदम्

gūḍhā vaiṣṇava-Գٲ-maṇi-mañjuṣikā haṭhāt
sphuṭam-udghāṭitā yena ta� prapanno’smi nāradam

I take shelter of Śī 岹 who has forced open the treasure chest of very confidential ղṣṇ conclusions and revealed the jewels of ղṣṇ Գٲ.

Śī Gopa-ܳ says to the Ѳٳܰ 󳾲ṇa, “On hearing Śī 岹’s words, I was overwhelmed with eagerness to have 岹śԲ of the lotus feet of my worshipable Deity, Śī Ѳ岹Բ-DZ. In fact, he had described Śī ṛṣṇa’s topmost qualities just to increase my eagerness.�
